A direct approach to analysing step changes (2000)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (2000). A direct approach to analysing step changes. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 214(11), 1437-1441. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406001523407

There are many processes in engineering in which a physical parameter y normally varies linearly with another physical parameter x, but where, on occasion, a step change in the variation of parameter y may occur. A typical example of this phenomenon... Read More about A direct approach to analysing step changes.

On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water (2000)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2000). On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 456, 1321-1332. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2000.0564

We provide an explanation for the anomalously low values of liquid tensile strength recorded in some experiments involving the reflection of a pressure pulse (as tension) at the free surface of a column of water, or at a flexible membrane. The presen... Read More about On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water.
